CATALOG DESCRIPTION -- The catalog description should clearly describe for students the scope of the course, its level, and what
kinds of student goals the course is designed to fulfill. The catalog description should begin with a sentence fragment.
A course designed to train firefighters to assume supervisory positions within the Incident
Command System (ICS). This course explores critical human performance factors involved in
effective operation during an incident or event and application of management techniques and
leadership requirements within the firefighting environment. Delegation of authority,
organizational structure and flexibility, and communication in chain of command will also be
covered.
Special notes or advisories (e.g. field trips required, prior admission to special program required, etc.):
This course was developed in conjunction with the US Fire Administration (Q-463) and the Emergency
Management Institute (IS-200). This course is identical in content and objectives to NWCG I-200 and is National
Incident Management System (NIMS) compliant. Non-U.S. Forest Service personnel should contact the
instructor prior to the course to determine recommended preparation.
